So what if everyone agreed on the intent. That's understood. However, there is zero argument for not requiring a valid id to vote, establishing identity, residence and ones qualification to vote in the first place.
Seems like that would be an obviously important thing to do in a place that prides itself on being the worlds example of democracy.
It's the arguments that are retarded. There are none. Why should someone not be allowed to drink, drive, buy cigarettes, buy alcohol, buy a gun etc etc etc etc etc without a valid government id... but anyone should be able to vote without one.
Furthermore, why is it so OK to Democrats to stick to an argument that black people just can't be expected to get any form of real ID? Thats the most insanely racist thing i've heard in a while.
